The 24-Hour Trapped Cash Report · $49

You’re Probably Sitting On More Dead Stock Than You Think.

Most distributors self-estimate dead stock at 8–10% of inventory. Real measured data across 100+ distributors puts the actual number at 20–25%—which means your real inventory carrying cost problem is likely double or triple what you’re currently budgeting for. Upload your inventory export and get the real number in 24 hours.

Automated 4-tier classification, total cash tied up, a prioritized review list, and suggested liquidation channels—delivered by email, no sales call, no ERP integration.

The Perception Gap

What you think you have vs. what’s actually on the shelf.

Non-moving inventory doesn’t show up on a P&L as a single line—it’s spread across hundreds of SKUs, each easy to ignore individually. That's how the gap between what you'd guess and what's real gets this wide.

What Distributors Self-Estimate

  • 8–10% of inventory is dead or non-moving
  • A "known problem" tracked loosely, if at all
  • No SKU-level dollar figure attached to it
A rough guess, not a measured number.

What Measured Data Shows

  • 20–25% of inventory is dead or non-moving, per a Thrive Technologies survey of 100+ distributors
  • Spread across enough SKUs that no one owner ever sees it as one number
  • A real, quantifiable inventory carrying cost problem—not a vague sense that "we probably have some old stuff back there"
This is the number the report gives you for your own inventory.

The 20–25% figure comes from a vendor-published Thrive Technologies survey (n=100+ distributors)—a real, directional industry finding, not an independently peer-reviewed academic statistic. We're citing it honestly as one data point, not as proof of what your specific warehouse looks like. The only way to know your real number is to run your own data.

1

Purchase & Send Your Export

Check out for $49, then reply to the confirmation email with your inventory export—CSV or Excel, whatever your system already produces. Common column-name variations (SKU, on-hand quantity, last-sale date, unit cost) are matched automatically.

Your Real Data

Automated 4-Tier Classification

Every SKU is sorted into one of four tiers—active, slow-watch, non-moving-review, or dead-stock-candidate—using an exception-aware method that checks your own data for status, committed quantity, and spares before flagging anything.

Active / Slow-Watch / Review / Candidate

Total Cash Tied Up, Calculated

The report totals the real dollar cost sitting in slow-moving and non-moving inventory—the actual number behind your inventory carrying cost problem, not a percentage estimate.

A Real Dollar Figure

Prioritized Review List

Flagged SKUs are ranked by dollars recoverable, so you know exactly where to start—not a 40-tab spreadsheet you still have to sort through yourself.

Ranked By Dollars, Not Alphabet

Suggested Liquidation Channels

Each flagged category gets 2–3 realistic disposal channels—auction, scrap/surplus vendor, or manufacturer return—so the report answers "now what do I do with this" instead of stopping at a list of SKUs.

A Next Step, Not Just a List

Delivered Within 24 Hours

The finished report lands in the same email you used at checkout. No dashboard login, no recurring software, no sales call required at any point in the process.

What’s Actually In the $49

A real value stack, priced honestly.

These are illustrative comparable values—what the equivalent manual work would plausibly cost—not verified quotes anyone has actually paid. We'd rather show honest math than an inflated "$2,000 value!" sticker.

Core Inventory-Capital Analysis

Full SKU-level 4-tier classification and cash-tied-up calculation, run by a deterministic engine—not a generic template. Comparable to roughly 2–3 hours of a bookkeeper or ops analyst manually building the same aging analysis in Excel.

Illustrative value: ~$250

Exception-Aware Classification

Prevents the costly mistake of flagging legitimate critical spares or committed stock as liquidation candidates. This is a genuine mechanism advantage over a blunt age cutoff—not priced separately, because it's the actual differentiator, not a bolt-on.

The real fix, not a feature list item

Liquidation Action Plan

2–3 realistic disposal channels per flagged category—auction, scrap/surplus vendor, manufacturer return—so the report answers what to do next, not just what's wrong. Comparable to a single focused consulting touchpoint.

Illustrative value: ~$50

$2,500-or-$0 Guarantee

Objective, checkable criteria—not the seller's own judgment call. Guarantees don't get a fake dollar tag stacked into a "total value" number; that's an honesty line we're not willing to cross.

Real risk reversal, not a bonus

Honest total: roughly $300 in illustrative comparable value against a $49 real price—about 6x. That's a separate claim from the $16,896 found in the one real test file below: one is value in the analysis itself, the other is value the analysis found sitting in someone's actual warehouse. We're keeping those two numbers apart on purpose instead of stacking them into one inflated figure.

The Real Guarantee

$2,500 flagged for review, or the report is free.

If your report doesn’t identify at least $2,500 in inventory cost flagged for review—more than 50x the report’s $49 price—you get a full refund. No argument, no fine print.

Published Criteria

An item counts toward the $2,500 guarantee threshold if it lands in the non-moving-review or dead-stock-candidate tier, carries recorded on-hand cost in your export, and isn’t already marked by your own data as active, committed, or a spare. That’s the whole test—objective, checkable against your own file, not a judgment call made after the fact.

At $49 against a $2,500 guarantee, the risk:reward ratio is roughly 51x. Any distributor with more than a handful of aging SKUs clears this easily—the real test run already found $16,896 in a 15-SKU sample, well past the threshold.

Honest Proof, Not Manufactured Proof

This is a genuinely new offer. Here’s what we actually have to show you.

No customers have purchased this yet—you’d be among the first. We're not going to invent testimonials, review counts, star ratings, or "trusted by" logos to paper over that. Here's the real proof that exists today.

The One Real Sample We Have

A real 15-SKU test file run through the actual analysis engine flagged $16,896 in inventory cost for review. That's one real, specific data point—clearly one test example, not a typical or average result, and not something we're going to dress up as more than it is. Results depend on the size and age of your own inventory.

A Real, Checkable Guarantee

The $2,500-or-free guarantee above uses objective criteria you can verify against your own report—not our judgment call after you've already paid. A guarantee with published, checkable terms is real proof of confidence in the tool, even before a track record of customers exists to point to.

This matches how we handle proof everywhere else, too: real, verifiable, and never speculative or invented—whether that's a client case study or a brand-new $49 report with exactly one sample result to its name.

Questions Before You Buy

Straight answers, including where the proof is thin.

What exactly do I get for $49?

A 4-tier SKU classification, total cash tied up, a prioritized review list, and suggested liquidation channels, delivered by email in 24 hours. A 4-tier classification of every SKU in your inventory export (active, slow-watch, non-moving-review, dead-stock-candidate), the total cash tied up in slow-moving and dead stock, a prioritized review list ranked by dollars recoverable, and 2-3 suggested liquidation channels—auction, scrap/surplus vendor, or manufacturer return—for each flagged category. Delivered to your email within 24 hours.

How does it work—do I need to integrate my ERP?

No integration—just reply to the confirmation email with your export after checkout. After checkout, reply to the confirmation email with your inventory export (CSV or Excel) and the report is generated and delivered to that same email within 24 hours. There's no software to install and no sales call.

Will it flag legitimate spares or committed stock as "dead"?

No—the classification is exception-aware and checks your own data before flagging anything. The classification is exception-aware, not a blunt age cutoff. It's built to separate genuine non-movers from items your own data marks as active, committed, or spares, rather than flagging every old SKU as a mistake. If your export includes fields like status, committed quantity, or notes, the analysis uses them.

What's the guarantee, exactly?

At least $2,500 flagged under published, checkable criteria, or a full refund. If your report doesn't flag at least $2,500 in inventory cost for review under the published criteria—items landing in the non-moving-review or dead-stock-candidate tier, carrying recorded on-hand cost, that your own export doesn't already mark as active, committed, or spare—you get a full refund. No argument, no fine print.

Is $16,896 a typical result?

No—it's the real number from one test file, not an average, and we won't claim otherwise. It's the real number from one actual test file (15 SKUs)—the only sample result we have to show right now. Results depend entirely on the size and age of your inventory; some files will find more, some less. We're not going to invent an "average" from a sample size of one.

Do you have other customers or reviews yet?

Not yet—this is a new offer, and we're not going to fake reviews or logos to hide that. This is a genuinely new offer and we're not going to fake reviews or logos to make it look otherwise. What you're buying is a real, working, deterministic analysis tool, a real sample result, and a real guarantee with objective criteria you can check yourself. That's the actual proof on the table right now.

What file formats do you accept?

CSV or Excel, with automatic matching for common column-name variations. CSV or Excel (.xlsx). The tool matches common column-name variations automatically—SKU, item number, on-hand quantity, last-sale date, unit cost, and similar fields—so you don't need to reformat your export to a specific template first.

Is this a subscription?

No—$49 one-time, for one report on one inventory export. It's a $49 one-time purchase for one report on one inventory export. There's no recurring charge and nothing to cancel.

Pricing

One report. One price. No sales call.
